Private Equity Firms

Our Value Creation

As a private equity firm, you manage a portfolio of businesses that each have their own insurance and employee benefits programs. It can be a challenge to effectively evaluate the Total Cost of Risk (TCOR) for each company. Risk International will join your team of executives to drive down the cost of insurance and employee benefits across your portfolio, increasing profits and reducing risk.

As the value of each portfolio company grows under the care of our risk managers, we can also advise you during sales and acquisitions, reducing risk for your private equity firm.

Utilizing our risk management and employee benefits optimization processes, we have driven over $500 million in savings to private equity shareholders in all industries, with companies of all sizes. With a no commission, fee-for-service model, we are able to put our clients first, eliminating any conflict of interest. Our experts are intelligent, creative, and unafraid of pushing brokers and carriers for better programs. We convert risk into opportunity.
